Santo Stefano Belbo is a small town in the Langhe, at the transition to the Asti zone – known as the birthplace of Cesare Pavese and the heart of Moscato cultivation. It is also the home of the Ceretto family. A second story began here in 1976, when Bruno and Marcello Ceretto had long been regarded as the reformers of Barolo and Barbaresco: together with four local winegrowing families, they founded I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano – out of a desire to restore the dignity of Moscato d'Asti. At the time, the grape variety had sunk into mass production and the name had been eroded. In contrast, they set 41 hectares, hand-picked grapes and a clear attitude. Today, almost fifty years later, the principle remains unchanged: 100% Moscato Bianco from marble-rich hillside terrain at around 400 metres above Santo Stefano Belbo and neighbouring Calosso. Fermented exclusively in steel. The freshness and varietal character of Moscato should speak for themselves, and they do so extremely well.

Pale straw yellow in the glass, finely sparkling. The nose opens immediately and without hesitation: sage, lychee, acacia blossom, white peach, a hint of apricot and fresh citrus notes in the background. Sweet on the palate, but never heavy – 5.5% alcohol and a lively acidity keep everything in balance, giving the wine that bouncy lightness that sets Moscato d'Asti apart from everything else. The finish is aromatic, persistent, with the typical floral and fruity aftertaste of the variety. A wine that needs no explanation – but has a story that is worth telling. SUPERIORE.DE
